For sale is this: Very Rare France 1815 R Gold 20 Francs British Minted Coin French 20 franc gold coins were approved by French King Louis XVIII to be struck by The Royal Mint in London during his exile. Their purpose was for the use of the British army to pay the troops in France in 1815 in the period before the battle of Waterloo, giving them a currency that locals would accept.

British troops were occupying parts of North Western France, but some of the coins found their way to Paris and were considered counterfeits by the monetary authorities. The French minting authorities were appalled. No coins were struck after 30 November 1815. View My Other Items For Sale.
